Omar Figueroa had barely left his stool when the storm of punches began.

Forty-seven seconds later, lightning struck.

Figueroa, the pride of Weslaco, hit Henry Aurad with a straight right to the chin, sending the Colombian light welterweight to the canvas and ending his night.

Aurad (14-7-1, 11 KOs) never knew what hit him.

The all-action Figueroa (20-0-1, 16 KOs) brought the capacity crowd of 2,000 to its feet in appreciation with his TKO victory, capping a busy day of boxing Saturday at Our Lady of the Lake's Mabee Gymnasium.

Emanuel Ledezma (12-1, 2 KOs) had no trouble with his opponent, or his weight. Fighting at 175 pounds, the heaviest of his career, the 30-year-old grocery broker controlled Felix Piedra (9-2-1, 5 KOs) of Mercedes from the opening bell to pound out an easy victory by unanimous decision.

“I felt pretty good but I'll probably never do this again,” he said of his heavier-than-usual fighting weight.
